BETHEL Last week, selectmen agreed to extend outdoor seating for area businesses until November 1.
Brian Simpson, who owns Butcher Burger restaurant, spoke on behalf of other businesses requesting for an extension, including Steam Mill Brewing and the Modern Barn.
Both Steam Mill and Modern Barn had employees or owners were present at the meeting.
Simpson said he thinks most people in the community feel safe and noted that no one at the meeting was masked, but that many people from away do not feel as comfortable, yet.
“A lot of the tourists coming into our state do not feel [as safe],” Simpson said. “They are still nervous.”
